Yuchai became the first Chinese company to develop hydrogen-powered engines for both light and heavy trucks.
YCK16H is equipped with a self-developed control system that can adjust injection pressure and air volume for many different fuels.
The resource can be adapted to a wide range of fuels of different purities, and can work with gray and green hydrogen, hydrogen from methanol, other fuels and combinations of the former.
